This book offers a thorough lexical description of an English for
Specific Purposes (ESP) variety, English for Architecture, by means
of a selfmade corpus. As other knowledge communities, Architecture
practitioners have a distinctive discourse and a linguistic
identity of their own. Both are conveyed through specific
linguistic realizations, and are of considerable interest in the
field of ESP. The corpus used was designed for the purpose of
describing and analyzing the main lexical features of Architecture
Discourse from three different perspectives: word-formation,
loanword neology and semantic neology, which are the three main
foundations of lexis. In order to analyze all materials a database
of almost three thousand entries was produced, including a
description and classification of every word from the corpus
considered relevant for the analysis. Thanks to this methodology
the lexical character of Architecture language is ultimately
revealed in connection with the linguistic identity of its
practitioners.
